在当前关于从学校到工作的过渡的讨论中,职业决策具有关键但矛盾的地位。社会学文献强调社会结构路径的主导地位,而政策制定则基于个人选择自由的假设。在本文中,我们借鉴皮埃尔·布迪厄(Pierre Bourdieu)的著作,提出了一种新的职业决策模型,并简称为“职业生涯”。该模型具有三个完全集成的维度。这些是(i)实用理性的决策,位于决策者的习惯中; (ii) 在(青训)领域与其他人的互动,与不同“球员”拥有的不平等资源有关; (iii) 在构成生命历程的部分不可预测的转折点和例行公事模式中做出决定的位置。这种模式避免了隐性社会决定论或将(年轻人)视为完全自由的人的双重陷阱。
In the current discourse on the transition from school to work, career decision-making has a pivotal but paradoxical position. Sociological literature emphasises the dominance of socially-structured pathways, whilst policy-making operates on assumptions of individual freedom to choose. In this paper we draw on the work of Pierre Bourdieu to present a new model of career decision-making given the shorthand title of 'careership'. There are three completely integrated dimensions to the model. These are (i) prapmatically rational decision-making, located in the habitus of the person making the decision; (ii) the interactions with others in the (youth training) field, related to the unequal resources different 'players' possess; and (iii) the location of decisions within the partly unpredictable pattern of turning-points and routines that make up the life course. This model avoids the twin pitfalls of implicit social determinism or of seeing (young) people as completely free agents.
